You can find a listing of F-105Fs here: http://forgottenjets.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/F-105.html a bit of cross referencing should find which ones ended up in SEA. Jari

There is a 2 seater in the background about to get a load of bombs in this pic: http://www.vfa305.org/F105lineup.jpg Jari

Some F-105Fs were used in regular missions, on Aug 28 1965 F-105F 63-8282 was shot down, the pilot Capt Wesley Schierman was taken POW, the back seat was empty. Jari

Chapter Five in this manual gives details, including dimensions and markings of the High Capacity bombs: http://www.lexpev.nl/downloads/britishexplosiveordnance1946.pdf it's 50MB but quite handy for info on British bombs. Jari

The ones in the video are 8000lb bombs, you can tell by the openings in the tail where it meets the bomb body, the 4000lb one had a solid drum with no cut outs. This video shows the back end of the 4000lb bombs were solid: while the 8000lb ones were open, note the cut outs as well: and if you want, an early version of the 4000lb Cookie: Jari

Not the best quality but here is a Lanc showing the exhaust staining on the wing: Jari

Nice work as always Chuck but sometimes the panel lines do not line up on the real thing, check below the 8 and to the right: Jari

Here is a manual on the F-104D that has cockpit pics: http://www.avialogs.com/index.php/en/aircraft/usa/lockheed/f-104starfighter/to-1f-f104d-1-flight-manual-f-104d.html Jari

The -106 didn't carry the AIM-4D, the G and F versions, however the -101B did. Jari
